Skinny Jeans and Orange Roughy
The front page of the Grand Rapids Press “Your Life” Section today has an article all about “Skinny Jeans.” Specifically, this article is about how they are fashionable, even for guys to wear. Stop right there! I’ve heard enough! Skinny jeans are absolutely THE MOST UGLY JEANS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE – on a male or a female. When I saw some male students in the hallway across from my room wearing skinny jeans, I actually had to do a double take to figure out if they were guys or girls (didn’t help that they had long hair either). They are also NOT flattering on anyone I have ever seen with them on (even they guys in the paper today, who are also athletes). Unless you are a size 2 model, who has no butt or thighs, skinny jeans are not for you!
In other news, I’m bummed that I couldn’t buy orange roughy at the new Meijer in Cedar Springs. Apparently, I was the third person who asked the meat counter guy this week about it! I wrote Meijer to tell them that I was disappointed that I could get orange roughy at the Meijer in Rockford and also at the Spartan Store down the street (smaller than the Meijer in Cedar Springs). Maybe they’ll be convinced and stock it?? Ah well. There are bigger fish to fry (yuck, yuck)! I’ll have to drive to get my fish in the meantime! 
UPDATE on the fish: This is a very sad day. Apparently, orange roughy is now considered an endagered fish, and so Meijer elected not to buy it any more. I feel bad that I sent a complaint email, but at least now I know! That’s too bad that it is endangered. It was a really yummy fish (not too “fishy,” which I liked).
On the Today Show last week they had a whole segment on skinny jeans and how they are bad for you! They can cause “infections” and chaffing (don’t know if that’s spelled right). Anyway, I just thought it was a very humorous segment!!!
Too funny, sis! Now, I won’t be able to get a certain image out of my mind when I see the hallways full of teenagers in “skinny jeans” this year! Do they have chafing?infection?
Ha! Thanks for the laugh!
I had to go to mlive.com and find the article to see the pictures, but you’re right on. Plus, it seems to me the biggest reason that males wear skinny jeans isn’t because they are comfortable or show off their leggs..but rather that the jean is so tight it displays the male, um, “package”. Yep, it call comes down to the p***s..well, duh, would dudes want us looking at anything else on them? (Sigh. Eyeroll.)
Good point, Melanie! All I know is that Rob can breathe a sigh of relief because he will NOT be receiving a pair of skinny jeans from me any time soon!
1) I don’t like skinny jeans either. I’m in complete agreement with your observations–extremely unflattering to about everyone I’ve ever seen wear them.
2) Have you tried tilapia? It’s also extremely mild & not fishy tasting, kind of like orange roughy.
Glad you feel the same way about the skinny jeans, Linds! And yep, I’ve had tilapia. I like it a lot because I’m not into the fishy fish (although I won’t be eating any fish for a while now)!
Women’s skinny jeans are bad enough. What self-respecting male would be seen wearing skinny jeans? They are like leggings in denim. How girly. Rephrase that, how stick-figure girly. Those skinny jeans are squeezing the blood out of the man’s legs. A woman who stares is likely wondering how the many got those giant feet through the tiny ankle holes rather than looking at the package. All I recall about Billy Ray Cyrus’ trademark skinny jeans is wondering who stitched him into them (back in the achy braky days).
Lemon juice takes the fishy taste out of most fish. Though in your current state, you should avoid all seafood unless you confirm it was raised in a tank “aquaculture” rather than wild caught. Absolutley no seafood at restaurants. Reason for this scrutiny? Heavy metal levels in fish affecting your growing fetus.
